Among these companies and factories, 421 were designed as nationwide smart manufacturing demonstration industries, 90 percent of which applied technologies such as AI and digital twin, said the China Internet Development Report 2024, which was released during the Wuzhen Summit of the 2024 World Internet Conference (WIC) held in the ancient water village of Wuzhen in east China’s Zhejiang Province.
